Last night we went to a local coffee house near Notre Dame campus and enjoyed the atmosphere there. I'm sure we will still visit our regular starbucks (especially since we have made friends with the barista's there), but it's really important to help support the smaller businesses!!
As I am preparing my grocery list today, I am reminding myself to go to our local grocery store rather than Meijer or Walmart. Plus, our local grocery store has drive up service and is just over all a much friendlier place :). What are some of your favorite local places to eat/shop at???

I love this blog dear friend! I completely agree with you about going local :) I love love love uptown kitchen...so amazing, and so cute! although, it is not local to me out here, but when i am home it is and i make my parents take me there! I also love Lula's. i prefer smaller, more intimate coffee houses, they are just harder to find sometimes huh? Out here a few of my favorite local stores, restaurant, etc. are called "The Good Day Cafe" for breakfast...yum and Trader Joe's for shopping, i love it cause it is close enough to walk to. The closet coffee house at this point is Starbucks. "Tex Mex" for Mexican, "Sushi Tsunami's" for sushi, and last but defiantly not least "Cherry on Top" for frozen yogurt! let's go to uptown kitchen next time i am home!

This is very important to Andy and I as well. We really avoid chain restaraunts. We have even been trying to shop at farmers markets and stuff so we can support the local farmers and get fresh produce from them. They have organic farms out here and we have been talking about going to them to get all of our meat and stocking up for a few months...it's expenive...so we'll see. Lula's is great...I've never been to Uptown. I love the title of your blog btw!
